Monthly donation to support political prisoners in China
Welcome to join us to help prisoners of conscience in China and their families. They had made sacrifice for a better China. In return, many of them face hardship during and after their imprisonment. You can help with a monthly donation of $10,$60 in 6 months or $120 yearly donation.
What we have done in 2012?
Here is the list of people/projects we supported in 2012. We provided humanitarian support to more than 40 families suffered from political and religious prosecution by the Chinese government. Comparing all those thrown into the “stability maintenance维稳” system, it is just a drop in the ocean. Please join us to do more in the coming months!

Dear Mr. Fang Zhang,
I am writing to you today to notify that I would like to extend my gratitude for everything you’ve done through a donation of 10 dollars per month. I would like to help you provide humanitarian aid and means of sustenance to the kin of those who are subjugated to oppression by their political system; I’m referring to the program sponsored by Humanitarian China, by the way. Anyways, I just wanted to chip in with $120, a portion of the stipend I received from my summer research internship.
As always, best wishes,
David Jiang

Dear Tiananmen mother:
My name is D. I am a seventeen-year-old high school student, born in the United States. I first heard of you from my father and Mr. Fang Zheng. I was propelled into action upon hearing that you lost a son who was close to my age in the June 4th incident. I am aware that you and other parents were unfortunate enough to lose your sons and daughters in the crackdown on June 4th, 1989. Although I may never completely comprehend the sense of loss you’ve felt, I offer my deepest condolences. However, in my opinion, your children have not perished without a cause; in fact, their lives were relinquished in pursuit of what I deem the noblest of causes. They all pursued democratic liberty in China through nonviolent means. Although they are gone, their ideals and goals are not; in fact, the feats they strove to accomplish have made them heroes, in my mind at least.
I write to you today with this message, but also a donation. After hearing of this situation, I’ve collected a bit of money that I can only hope that you’ll be able to put to good use. I wish you only the best of luck in your endeavors.
Regards,
D.

亲爱的天安门母亲：
我的名字为D，是一名在美国出生的17岁高中生。我从父亲和方政先生那得知您。听闻您在“六·四”中失去和我年纪相仿的儿子后，我决定给您写这封信。我知道您及其他父母在1989年6月4日的镇压中不幸失去了儿女。尽管可能永远无法对你们失去孩子的痛楚感同身受，我在此谨向你们致以我最深切的慰问。我觉得你们的孩子没白白死去；他们的生命实际上献给了在我看来最高贵的事业——以非暴力方式在中国争取民主自由。他们的人已逝去，他们的理想与目标尚在；他们为此奋斗过就已经是英雄，至少我这么看。
以上是我想对您说的话，同时也附来捐款。听闻你们的处境后，我筹集了一些钱，希望能起善用。祝您好运！
诚挚的，
D（签名）

张牧师：
您好！国庆前看到了贤斌，他已从我的信中知道了孩子的情况。半个小时的见面，我们就一直谈孩子，他甚至有些激动，说以后就多说点孩子的事。但愿孩子的一切成为他铁窗孤寂生活的亮光！
明先 2011.10.4
快过春节了，我们这个小小的家庭教会收到了目前在美国的张前进牧师（传道）所寄来的x元。按照张前进牧师的意思，将这—-作为春节慰问—-分别送到了15位生活十分困难或者目前正遭灾难的主内肢体们与朋友们的手中。
1、xxx，当年是”八九*六四”北大学生之一，曾为此坐牢。在几年前，在妻子怀孕期间，xxx还被无理的拘留了三天（当年海外一些媒体为此曾呼吁）。为此怀孕的妻子受到了惊吓，几天前，他们三岁多的孩子被诊断出”先天性白内障”，需要马上手术，需要一大笔钱。
2、xxx，因政治原因被判20年，坐牢16年多。出狱后没有工作，没有收入，生活十分困难。
3、xxx，2002年因为政治原因坐牢被判8年，将于2011年的1月24日出狱。
4、xxx，当年”八九*六四”时，他曾是高自联xxxx，为此曾被关在秦城监狱一年，1995年被警方以盲流遣送到了湖北一收容站，差点被整死在里面。 xxx弟兄患有严重的腰椎间盘脱出症，但是为了一家人的生活（妻子、两个孩子）一直在努力的工作着。因为曾是六四学生领袖、现是教会负责人，在北京又没有 自己的房子，时常被有关部门赶来赶去，断水断电，生活十分的艰难。
5、xxx，20多年来，一直积极向民运人士传福音，在自己的家中办家庭教会。曾因政治与信仰原因，2次坐牢，共4年。在2003年至2006年第二次坐牢期间，妻子因此失去了护士工作，xxx出狱后失去了医生工作。
6、xxx，因政治原因，曾两次坐牢，共10年，出狱后失去了工作，靠低保生活。
7、xxx，八九六四受难者，失去一条腿。因为残疾，因为身患多种疾病，生活一直十分困难。
8、xxx，因八九六四曾被关秦城监狱，后因组党等政治活动，被判11年，坐牢11年。出狱后失去原有的工作，生活困难。
9、xx因79年西单墙民主运动坐牢8年。因是良心释放犯，多年来失去了原来的工作，生活困难。
10、xxx，几年前，为了维权，自焚，而落下残疾。为了治疗又将住房卖掉。目前一家人生活困难。
11、xxx，多年来，为了拆迁维权，两次坐牢，并因被打落下残疾。因家被强拆，一家人无家可归，生活十分困难。
12、xxx，79著名老民运人士，曾坐牢4年。多年来一直受到有关部门的欺压，为此近来不得不再次走上维权道路。因已是65多岁的老人，只靠低保生活，生活十分困难。
13、xxx，著名组党（民主党）人士，为此坐牢9年。在坐牢期间，xxx的身体受到了严重的伤害。
14、xxx，79著名老民运人士，著名组党（自由民主党）人士，为此被判15年，坐牢12年多。因出狱后，年老，很长时间也没有低保，生活十分苦难。
15、xx，当年”八九*六四”时，他曾是高自联xxxx，为此受到逼迫。1995年，因为关心狱中六四犯，而坐牢9年。出狱后一直没有工作，生活十分困难。
中国的官员常说的一句话：”金杯、银杯，不如百姓的口碑；金奖、银奖，不如百姓的夸奖”。在这里我们要对前进弟兄说：”我们国内的弟兄、朋友，没有金杯、银杯，我们只有口碑。我们没有金奖、银奖，但是我们有夸奖。我们的夸奖就是’张前进牧师—-你是我们国内弟兄的海外好牧师’”。
